This is certainly a different portrayal of Jesus, isn't it?

Revelation 12:3-6(NKJV)

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 

His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 

She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 

Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

I believe the Child is Jesus.  It says He will rule all nations with a rod of iron.  That certainly gives a different picture of Jesus doesn't it? 

Many people picture Jesus as all love and forgiveness and no discipline or consequences.  Ruling with a rod of iron sounds like just the opposite doesn't it? 

As I've said many times, the Bible is a book of balance.  One of the areas that seems to be lacking balance sometimes is our view of Jesus.
